Double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and energy absorberThe ABSORBICA®-Y TIE-BACK is a double lanyard with integrated intermediate tie-back rings and compact energy absorber. It is designed for vertical progression on very large structures and when passing intermediate anchor points. It functions with users weighing between 50 and 140 kg. The TIE-BACK system allows the lanyard ends to be reconnected to fit around structures with a very large cross section. The arms are elasticized to avoid hindering progression. It is available with or without connectors and is certified to American, European, and Russian standards.
Advanced Energy Absorber for Vertical Structure Progression
Designed for use in vertical progression and emergency rescue, this energy absorber is equipped with specialized features to manage the forces exerted during a fall and ensure safety during critical situations.
Key Features
- TIE-BACK Rings: Intermediate tie-back rings on the lanyard allow for connection to very large structures. These rings are easily accessible by rescuers, even when the person is suspended on the lanyard after a fall, facilitating quick and safe rescue operations.
- Energy Absorption: The energy absorber's webbing tears upon impact to limit the force on users, effective for individuals weighing between 50 and 140 kg. Progressive tearing reduces deceleration for lighter users, making it ideal for a wide range of body weights.
- Compact and Flexible Design: The compact nature of the energy absorber minimizes bulk, facilitating handling. Elasticized arms enhance mobility and prevent hindrance during progression.
Durability and Accessibility
- Protective Fabric Pouch: The energy absorber is encased in a durable fabric pouch with an opening system at each end, protecting it from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection to ensure ongoing reliability and safety.
Installation Options
- Flexible Installation Options:
- Frequent Connection/Disconnection: Can be connected using a carabiner held in the correct position by the STRING positioning accessory, or a MICRO SWIVEL to prevent tangling, facilitating ease of movement and quick adjustments.
- Semi-permanent Connection: Alternatively, it can be secured using a RING OPEN gated ring for optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to prevent tangling, enhancing stability and safety.
Connectivity and Customization
- Connector Options: Available with or without connectors. Options include two large-opening MGO connectors for attaching to metal structures and a Bm’D carabiner with a CAPTIV positioning bar for connecting to the harness, providing robust and versatile attachment options.
Compliance and Availability
- Length Options: The energy absorber is available in two lengths, 80 cm and 150 cm, to accommodate different user needs and specific task requirements.
- Safety Compliance: Meets compliance with the maximum accepted fall distances, ensuring safety and reliability. For more detailed technical information, visit petzl.com.
